(Ibbotson)
Played a wedding for the money, and I wish I could've told the
bride and groom

just what I think of marriage, what's in store after the
honeymoon.
I was rumbling through the verses 'bout how men and women ought

to live apart,
how the promise never made cannot be broken and can never break
a heart.


Suddenly from out of nowhere this little girl came spinning
across the floor,

her crinolines were billowing beneath the skirt of calico she
wore.
As her joy fell on the honored guests, each one of them was

drawn into her dream,
and they laughed and stamped and clapped their hands and
hollered at her "dance little Jean!"


And they said dance little Jean, this day is for you.
Two people that you love stood up to say I do.

Dance little Jean, a prayer that you had was answered today,
your mom is marrying your dad.


Well, the cynic's heart just melted as I figure what this gift
together meant
And how it ended years of tears and sad confusion that the

little girl had spent.
They told the band to pack it up about the time the couple cut
the cake,

but we stayed and we played all night long for love and laughs
and little Jeannie Sage.


We played dance little Jean, this day is for you. Two people
that you love stood up to say I do.


And they said dance little Jean, this day is for you.
Two people that you love stood up to say I do.
Dance little Jean, a prayer that you had was answered today,

your mom is marrying your dad.

And they said dance little Jean, this day is for you.

Two people that you love stood up to say I do.
Dance little Jean, a prayer that you had was answered today,
your mom is marrying your dad.
